Most venture funds chase the usual suspects—dropout founders, serial entrepreneurs, tech prodigies. But Meridian Ventures? They're doing the opposite.

Founded by two Harvard Business School grads, this fund exclusively backs founders with MBAs. Sounds risky, right? Turns out, it's working.

While the broader market questions whether business school still matters in the startup world, Meridian's betting that structured thinking and operational discipline actually give MBA founders an edge. Their portfolio performance is proving the thesis.

It's a bold, contrarian play in an industry obsessed with pedigree-free disruption. Sometimes the best alpha comes from zigging when everyone else zags.
